I think that large files are only available with Linux 2.4.x kernels, 
which I think rules out RH6.2 unless you've done something special.

The sure-fire test, of course, is to create a > 2Gb file and try to see 
its size. If you don't get an accurate reading, your system doesn't do 
+2Gb files.

The Python docs say that there are complete compiling instructions in 
the README file in the source distribution. My guess is that it goes 
something like: ./configure && make && make install

        --jcc
      (make install)
